Trump asks Manhattan hush money judge to throw out guilty verdict after Supreme Court’s immunity ruling

Former President Donald Trump on Monday asked the Manhattan judge in his hush money case to throw out his guilty verdict in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that granted him absolute immunity for official acts committed as President.

The request came in a letter to Judge Juan Merchan sent by the 78-year-old former President’s lawyers, which asks the jurist for permission to file a motion to postpone Trump’s July 11 sentencing and dismiss the case, The Post confirmed.

Trump’s legal team is required to notify Merchan in writing before any motions related to the case can be filed.

The letter is expected to be made public on Tuesday, after which Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office will be given a chance to respond.

The request, first reported by the New York Times, came 10 days before Trump is expected to be sentenced in the case where he was convicted by a jury of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records during his 2016 presidential campaign in an effort to keep an alleged sexual encounter with porn star Stormy Daniels out of the public sphere.

The defense team’s missive asks Merchan to consider how the Supreme Court’s Monday ruling impacts Trump’s historic May 30 conviction.

The high court’s ruling prevents prosecutors from charging a president for any official acts or using evidence involving official acts to further a prosecution.

The Supreme Court, however, left it up to lower courts to determine what constitutes an official act.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.

A lawyer for Trump declined to comment.

Trump had argued in previous court filings that his social media posts about former fixer Michael Cohen — a key witness for the prosecution – came from his time in the White House and should have been excluded from the trial because of presidential immunity.

It’s unclear if Merchan will revisit the conviction as the deadline for filing post-trial motions has already passed.

The presumptive Republican nominee for president hailed the Supreme Court’s ruling on Monday, calling it a “BIG WIN FOR OUR CONSTITUTION AND DEMOCRACY” in a Truth Social post.

Meanwhile, a Biden campaign official likened the high court’s ruling to giving the former president “the keys to a dictatorship.”

President Biden also slammed the court’s 6-3 decision, which will further delay Trump’s federal 2020 election subversion case.

“The man who sent that mob to the US Capitol is facing potential criminal conviction for what happened that day and the American people deserve to have an answer in the courts before the upcoming election,” the 81-year-old president said in remarks from the White House Monday.

“The public has a right to know the answer about what happened on January 6 before they are asked to vote again this year,” he added.

“Now, because of today’s decision, that is highly, highly unlikely,” Biden said. “It’s a terrible disservice to the people of this nation.”

This guy is just getting away with crimes left and right. Guy is a convicted RAPIST, a close associate of a PEDOPHILE, an INSURRECTIONIST and all-round GARBAGE person who has been very vocal about being SEXUALLY-ATTRACTED to his own biological daughter.

Yet somehow he has a VERY HIGH chance of becoming the next President of the US.

By the time this guy is done with the USA, USA would be like Northern Nigeria with NUKES.

I am shocked and surprised that headless mobs are not attacking US Supreme Court.

It is left for the lower court to determine if the acts on which Trump has been convicted are official acts or proven with official records during Trumps presidency. So Trump has not escaped yet

Media made up allegations, let me burst your head, Democrats are even more corrupt than Trump, the only different is that they're not loud mouthed like Trump. Don't think Democrats love blacks because you see a lot of blacks in democratic party. Hillary Clinton once said that she believed in white Power. Under democrats the KKK was formed, check your history. Don't you know that under democrats that you have the highest homicide and racial crimes against blacks.. keep deluding yourself thinking Biden is any better. They don't like you.
They only difference is that Trump is brutally honest about his own actions.

After watching his debate with Biden, I realised that the world needs Trump. The US needs him more.

You sound like the RARE kind of idiot that make up Trump's support base.

Nowhere in my original post did I say Democrats like black people.

Also, your claim that it's "media made-up allegations" is EXTREMELY stupid.

Because a court ALREADY convicted Trump for rape. That's a FACT, not an allegation.

He also said he finds his daughter sexually attractive. That's another fact.

He was so CHUMMY wuth Epstein he visited his Island and took pictures with him. That's also a FACT. Everybody knows what happens on Epstein's Island but still pretend like Trump is not a PEDOPHILE.

Also the idea that Trump is "brutally honest about his actions" is LAUGHABLE. And shows a level of DELUSION that all political fanatics share.

Finally, Democrats may hate black people. But Republicans hate them MORE.

The judge who presided over Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York agreed on Tuesday to postpone Trump's sentencing hearing as he considers a challenge stemming from the Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity.

Justice Juan Merchan informed Trump's lawyers and Manhattan prosecutors of his decision to delay the July 11 sentencing in response to a pair of letters from the two sides following the Supreme Court's ruling on Monday. The high court found that former presidents enjoy broad immunity for official acts. https://cbsn.ws/3VKUS4R
